You'll have to add '-cdrom /dev/cd0' (substitute your CD-ROM drive for cd0). Alternatively, you can use an ISO image as CD-ROM. =20 > On oszoo.org they say you can even create a compressed clone of the > image file by giving this cmd: "qemu-img convert -f qcow -c win98se.img > -O qcow image_compressed.img" but this does not work form me.

According to the qemu-img manual page, this command should be formatted as convert [-c] [-e] [-f fmt] filename [-O output_fmt] output_filename but that doesn't work either; it just produces a help message.
